@MrT10001 Imagine you only had one hand to work with. It's not beyond the realm of possibilities.

@sm-xcx said: @oldbutndy As far as I know, if your bootloader isn't unlocked the the installer will inform you about that. As for unlocking the bootloader, steps for doing so may vary widely between devices and that guide is usually present in their xda threads, if not then maybe I'll try to look into that too, tho again these efforts are tedious and it will take time. Right now I'm almost done with updating the device listings and by today or tomorrow I'll ask for a mr for my changes. Once this is done we will figure out things further Hi, I was NOT asking you to add the crazy amount of detail that might be required for every manufacturer and model variation. I was not asking for ANY device detail. I was only suggesting a single sentence, to help potential new UT users understand (by themselves asking us or others), that something like different sub models of a specific phone might range from EASY to unlock, to IMPOSSIBLE to unlock. It is NOT obvious to new users. So, their experience as a UT newbie could range from FAILURE, to pretty good, or even great ! I was trying to help them BEFORE they spent money.

@naz.r I have a quick question, is there a reason why you start your app with XWayland rather than Wayland? Starting the app like this allows to start it in Wayland mode. It seems to work fine. Normally it should possibly allow to improve performances although I've not tested that. I also allows to have the correct icon of your app in the left taskbar. Thank you! export GDK_BACKEND=wayland export DISABLE_WAYLAND=0 export OZONE_PLATFORM=wayland export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:-wayland-0} export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 export DCONF_PROFILE=/nonexistent gpuoptions="--use-gl=egl --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=UseSkiaRenderer,VaapiVideoDecoder,ThreadedAnimation --disable-frame-rate-limit --disable-gpu-vsync --enable-oop-rasterization --enable-threaded-compositing" sandboxoptions="--no-sandbox --disable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations " waylandoptions="--ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform" ./app/merezhyvo $gpuoptions $sandboxoptions $waylandoptions

By the way I should mention that Whatsnew and Signal UT, currently do not work anymore on 24.04-1.x daily, i.e the daily builds of the development version of UT. I've posted a bug report here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri/-/work_items/177 I hope we can find a fix before next UT release, even if it's not guarantied.

Sure, Tweak Tool, of course -- sorry. I just checked on my phone and it shows there, yes. Just look under the name 'Ratatoskr' (that's the actual name I gave the app -- "Bluetooth file transfer" is only a description). It's the first UT app I built, so I'm not familiar yet with all the intricacies of the dev. workflow. In any case, it seems there was a mixup, as the packages that were pushed on the server are v0.1.0, not v0.1.1. The "file sending" functionality may not be functional in that version (the receiving one should be). I'll try to get this fixed tomorrow.

@penserv What tablet are you using? If the tablet is running Windows there is a possibility of dual booing Ubuntu. I

@Shriharsh-Kulthe It is an old phone (with the micro USB port) and the fact it updated to Noble may indicate further work may be done. It is not a common device though and I did use it for my main UT device for a while.

Update: I set-up a postal forwarding service so I have an address in the EU. Responded to the email that was sent out after my chat where I was informed that it would not be possible to assist me in any capacity without an address in the EU. Mind you I am paying for this and not trying to scam a warranty policy. The do not respond, I wait a few days and send a follow up email in the same email thread, no response again, I follow up again in a few more days.... Today I receive a response, do you think they opened a repair ticket or did anything at all to assist with facilitating this process? Nope, they responded with the following. "We apologize for our delay in responding to your message.

@mihael Not on all devices, I expect. Some need a more complicated song and dance to unlock.

OK -- replying to my own post To resolve the issue, I decided to revive the old 'ubtd' app. Its new incarnation has passed the code review and v0.1.1 is now available on the OpenStore. You will find it under the name "Bluetooth file transfer", in the "Utilities" category. If you install it, may I suggest that you check the README here: https://github.com/petroniusniger/ratatoskr/tree/main for a brief description of how to use it most effectively? Also, should you discover any bug, please report them here: https://github.com/petroniusniger/ratatoskr/issues

@harmhero No, the M8 FHD is a different device. It has a different CPU, a different LCD, and more RAM. I actually own a M8 FHD device, and I like to support that device, too. However, I am currently busy with writing another book, so most likely this will not happen before late summer. Kai

@TermuxnTR both

@gpatel-fr I left the phone at work, will check tomorrow morning and update here. Thanks, guys.

Nice idea, that’s actually pretty clever! I’ve never thought about using the phone as a remote audio sink like that. Did you notice much delay in real use, especially for videos?

“Sounds really interesting! If the UT port on the FLX1 turns out stable, it could be a solid alternative. Dual boot support is a nice bonus too—curious to see if they’ll eventually make it work with the main storage

@lduboeuf thank you very much for taking this on, Lionel. When I looked at the code a few years ago, I was overwhelmed by the complexity.

@projectmoon funnely enough we had the same idea hours apart, i stopped development on my end (no need to have two apps for the same thing). thanks this is huge because now i can have push notifications for my university mail (dekko can't login to my university mail I have it forwarded to my protonmail).
